Our Teeth Cleaning Process

During a teeth cleaning appointment at Saline Dental, our skilled dental hygienists will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

The process typically includes:

  • Removal of plaque and tartar buildup
  • Deep cleaning to get rid of stains and discoloration
  • Flossing to remove debris from between teeth
  • Polishing to enhance the appearance of your teeth
  • Fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and prevent cavities

We use modern dental equipment and techniques to ensure a comfortable and effective teeth cleaning experience for our patients.

Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleaning

Regular teeth cleaning appointments are crucial for maintaining good oral health.

Here are some benefits of getting your teeth professionally cleaned at Saline Dental:

  • Prevention of Gum Disease: Tartar buildup harbors bacteria that can irritate and infect your gums, leading to gingivitis (early gum disease) and, if left untreated, periodontitis (advanced gum disease). Periodontitis can damage the soft tissues and bone that support your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. Professional cleanings remove these harmful deposits, helping to keep your gums healthy.
  • Cavity Prevention: Plaque bacteria produce acids that can erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities (dental caries). Removing plaque and tartar regularly significantly reduces the risk of developing cavities.
  • Removal of Stains and Brightening of Teeth: Professional cleaning can remove surface stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco, resulting in a brighter and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Fresher Breath: Bacterial buildup in the mouth is a major cause of bad breath (halitosis). Removing this buildup during a professional cleaning leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
  • Early Detection of Oral Health Issues: During your cleaning appointment, our hygienists carefully examine your teeth and gums for any signs of potential problems, such as early decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. Early detection allows for timely intervention and can prevent more serious issues from developing.
  • Overall Health Benefits: Emerging research suggests a link between oral health and overall health. Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular professional cleanings may contribute to better systemic health.

Oral Health Education & Guidance

At Saline Dental, we believe that patient education is key to maintaining oral health. Beyond the services we provide in our clinic, we also focus on giving our patients the knowledge and tools to care for their teeth and gums at home.

During your teeth cleaning appointment, our dental hygienists will offer personalized guidance on brushing and flossing techniques, recommend appropriate dental care products, and provide dietary advice to help protect your oral health. By helping you understand the importance of good oral hygiene and its connection to overall health, we aim to empower you to take control of your dental care.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Professional Teeth Cleanings in Bryant

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

It's generally recommended to schedule professional teeth cleanings every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your individual oral health needs. Your dentist can provide personalized recommendations.

What is plaque and why is it harmful?

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed regularly, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Plaque and tartar can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

How long does a typical dental cleaning take?

A standard cleaning usually takes about 30-60 minutes. However, deeper cleanings may take longer.

Can I eat or drink after a dental cleaning?

You can usually eat and drink after a dental cleaning, but it's best to avoid hot foods and drinks for a while.

What should I expect after a dental cleaning?

After a dental cleaning, you may experience some temporary sensitivity, especially if you had a deep cleaning. This should subside within a few days.
